The Big Night Out

So a couple of weeks ago the A.P. crew, Matthew, Catherine, Kirsty, Karen, and I decided to get together after work at our local chicken place right down below the kids school.

We have been doing this every Friday night, going out for chicken, beer, and dried fish. We usually have salt and pepper chicken, sesame chicken, Cass beer, Soju, and dried Pollack. A great end to a tough week.

It was a cool night and after snacking a bit we decided to head down to Bar Western, a local watering hole that draws a good mix of Koreans and ex-pats with its mix of western décor and, for some reason, a ton of Oriels pennants on the wall.

At this fine establishment you can get anju, light appetizers, makju (beer), soju, and padu-soju (grape juice and soju mixed in a pitcher, it kills the taste and makes the firewater taste like kool-aid, lethally deceptive). Since we were in the mood to drink and had just eaten we ordered a lot of beer and padu-soju and proceeded to tell stories and lies until about two a.m.

After amassing a whooping 64,000 bar tab for all of us (about $70.00) we headed over to the Zu-Zu Club a karaoke bar and met some new friends!

We all had a great time singing and acting like drunken fools. I was even able to finally understand how to play cricket! The night was pretty much a blur so I do not have a lot to say about it but it was a blast and I finally headed home about five.
